- Abstract
- W artykule poddano rozważaniom problematykę operowania transportu dostawczego (LGV) w obszarach zurbanizowanych. W szczególności, poddane zostały analizie możliwości zastosowania usług lokalizacyjnych (LBS), wykorzystujących technologię bazującą na systemach telefonii komórkowej różnych generacji w zmniejszaniu negatywnego wpływu transportu dostawczego na środowisko naturalne. Dywagacje objęły usługi lokalizacyjne takie jak: nawigacja w czasie rzeczywistym, dynamiczne zarządzanie flotą transportową, śledzenie oraz monitorowanie frachtów, transport materiałów niebezpiecznych, opłaty i podatki związane z przemieszczaniem się środków transportu w obszarach miejskich, oraz techniki ekologicznego prowadzenia pojazdów (eco-driving). Aspekty te postrzegane są przez autora jako najbardziej istotne w redukowaniu poziomu emisji zanieczyszczeń pochodzących od transportu dostawczego. Z przeprowadzonych analiz opartych na aplikacjach konkretnych rozwiązań w systemie społeczno-gospodarczym miast wynika, że w omawianym kontekście ekologicznym usługami o największym znaczeniu są nawigacja w czasie rzeczywistym oraz dynamiczne zarządzanie flotą transportową. Śledzenie oraz monitorowanie frachtów, szczególnie o niebezpiecznych właściwościach zostało zidentyfikowane jako usługa o znaczącym wpływie, jednak istotnie ograniczonym ze względu na specyfikę sektora. Pozostałe czynniki - takie jak na przykład eco-driving, pomimo znaczącego niewątpliwie wpływu, nie pozwalają na wysnucie wiążących wniosków ze względu na ograniczone ich stosowanie. W podsumowaniu wskazano na niewystarczającą ilość badań dotyczących omawianej problematyki i zasugerowano ich dalsze kierunki. (abstrakt oryginalny)
The article looks at the underexplored area of light goods vehicle (LGV) operation. Specifically, it is investigated to what extent various location based services (LBS) can be applied in the context of LGV operation in order to improve their environmental friendliness in urban areas. In doing so, LBS applied in real time navigation, dynamic fleet management, freight tracking and monitoring, hazardous materials transport, location-specific tolls and taxes and geo ecodriving are described in relation to their usefulness in LGV operation as well as the potential in reducing LGV-originating pollution. Where available, real world examples of such applications are given. The discussion reveals particular significanc in that context of real time navigation and dynamic fleet management, which are widely applicable solutions in LGVs operation. Freight monitoring and tracking, including hazardous materials transport, have been also found to be of an importance due, yet with a more limited applicability. As regards location-specific tolls and taxes, and geo-eco-driving, significant potential of these LBS has been identified, yet due to their very limited applicability in general, no robust conclusions could be drawn. Last but not least, a significant gap in the detailed knowledge regarding the area has been revealed and directions for further research have been suggested. (original abstract) - Accessibility
